Where can I get fancy cameras for Trainz to do fancy drone styled shots over railyards and other parts of the route? Are they on DLS or are there third party suppliers? If so, what keywords do I need to look for? Thanks.

Just press "4" (free roam view) and position yourself in any place you like to make a screenshot from?
Under the Tools pull-out tab in Surveyor are cameras and other things including rulers. There are two kinds of cameras, static and tracking. You want to use the tracking camera and place it up high enough to see your train from above. When you press the 2 or 3 key, your default camera should jump to one of these trackside cameras.
You might have to experiment and fiddle to get the distance to where you want it.
You can put a (invisible) camera on an invisible track like used for airplanes.
For this camera shots I use a helicopter most of the time.
You can not do free roaming (because the camera is stuck to the invisible rail) but it gives very nice camera shots from above.
Of course you can, while flying, rotate de camera in any angle.
You have to be creative with laying the camera route.
Very low and very high is easy to do.
For example: the Niddertalbahn (free) has a flying camera too.

I get what your saying. Yea I wanted to create the effect that makes it look like someone is flying a camera drone over the railyard like I saw in some YouTube vids.
Place your BNSF50 Invisatrack looking straight down from above ... at each track spline point place a strange looking building/scenery asset, as a marker (or a small painted texture dot)... Apply the track height of ex: 100m, or 200m, to each BNSF50 Invisatrack track spline point ... Then fly a B52 stratofortress bomber in the air, as a loco/camera :hehe:
